Light In The Box - Sent me wrong size tankini

Order no. 260130****768716

I really like the tankini I ordered but if you observe the order I wanted a size XL and I received a size L. Can I re order in a size XL and do I return the one I received today?

Cannot find order

Light In The Box - Cannot find order

I placed an order for a Christmas T-shirt. It has been taken out of my bank account, but I have never received a confirmation email or anything.

I cannot get through to anyone at this company and will be filing a dispute with my bank if I do not get a resolution soon.

Every time I try to log in, it says that my email is not on file. Yet, I had to put an email in to place the order!

No customer service phone # for incorrect orders.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I ordered my handicapped father 2 pairs of shoes; one arrived, the other was not delivered. The one that did arrive is an incorrect fit.

I have tried to return it for a replacement, and there is no customer service number to be found to explain the situation.

They only wish for you to download their app and deal with a robot. This company is a joke; I highly recommend using another.

Product went to wrong house

Light In The Box - Product went to wrong house

Ordered a button up shirt for Halloween that I needed for work. Shirt showed up to wrong house with my same address about 20 minutes away.

Drove over there and looked at the picture they sent me through the shipping company and it was a completely different house. They screwed it up so bad that they couldnt deliver it to the WRONG house.

No way to get ahold of them and had nothing to wear to my works Halloween dinner. I am currently out $20 over a shirt that went somewhere completely wrong.

Terrible Company Lightinthebox

Light In The Box - Terrible Company Lightinthebox

No customer service person to talk to and when I try to send a message it says message not delivered because the remote server is misconfigured! So I've been trying to get some of my money back for a return they offered me a 60 percent refund of an item I want to return instead of paying between $20-$20 to return to their China warehouse but now they're not getting my text so they said case closed!! It's because I keep getting the stupid message that 'message not delivered' your message couldn't be delivered because the remote server is misconfigured so what in the heck am I supposed to do???

Light In The Box - Delivered different item than the one I paid for which was 3 times...

I ordered and paid for (£30.50) a cover for my settee and they have only

Delivered a cover for a single seat (£10) and wont send me the one I have paid for and it is impossible to talk to anyone so I think the only way forward will be legal action.

Do not use this company they do not want you to be able to contact them .

Undelivered order

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I placed an order with you on the 9th of December 2025. My order number is litb-251208****018130-****4241 to the value of $216.71 Aus dollars. Yesterday, I received an email from you giving me a refund of $61.56. No other explanation as to what has happened to the rest of my order or what items were refunded. When can I expect the rest of my order and what items were refunded?

I've ordered from you before and have never had any problems. I understand it's a busy time, but according to your website, I was supposed to have received my order by the 19th/20th at the latest.

I would appreciate an early reply.

You are fortunate they refunded your money, i ordered an item based on what they advertised and what I received was an awful cheap version, nothing like the product the displayed. I have now learnt from 3 different buyers, if its showing as a great buy, it is unlikely to be and anything that shows shipping......

is most likely not from the US but China. Nothing wrong at all with it coming from China, I am happy with many of the products i have purchased, but when they show one quality of version and send something unrecognisable then it is fraudulent of the extreme.

Poor Sizing and Return Policy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Jan 13, 2026

Don't use them

Original review Dec 28, 2025

This company is worse than Temu.

The sweater shirt i ordered in my size L came after 3 weeks and it's more like an XXL. Terrible.

Then once I finally figured out how to navigate their deliberately difficult site to return, came the real s'^t.

I had to pay $20 to $40 to return it to China. The shirt only cost $29.AND I paid $10 for shipping.

I chose their 30% refund.

Confirmation of clothing sizes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Hi,

I have a jacket in my shopping cart, but before I complete purchase I wish to receive confirmation that the size on order i.e 2xl is actually that.

I have had poor experiences from other merchants with sizes, either too big or small.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Patrick.

User's recommendation: Waiting now 4 days for a reply to a query regarding confirmation of sizes because in my experience they are either too small or large. Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Patrick

Unable to contact customer service. Total frustration.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

2 separate orders have been listed as delivered. Only one was and that was a man's size small.

What I ordered was a women's size small. The other was never delivered. Tried to contact customer service however that was impossible.

All directions given on the website returned me to the place I began. Additionally, it took an inordinate amount of time to receive the 1 order which was delivered.
